Fibromyalgia Relief in Overland Park, KS

Fibromyalgia is a complex and often misunderstood condition that causes widespread pain, fatigue, and tenderness throughout the body. Those living with fibromyalgia know how frustrating it can be—not only to manage the symptoms but also to find effective treatment. At Nigus Chiropractic & Acupuncture, we take a holistic approach to fibromyalgia care, addressing the nervous system, spinal health, and overall wellness to help you regain control of your life.

What Is Fibromyalgia?

Fibromyalgia is a chronic disorder that affects the joints, muscles, tendons, and soft tissues, often leading to:

• Persistent, widespread pain
• Fatigue and difficulty sleeping
• Brain fog (difficulty concentrating or remembering things)
• Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
• Depression and anxiety

This condition affects 3-5% of the U.S. population, with women being the most commonly diagnosed. Unfortunately, fibromyalgia can be difficult to diagnose because there’s no specific test to confirm it. Instead, doctors often rely on symptom history and the exclusion of other conditions to make a diagnosis.

What Causes Fibromyalgia?

The exact cause of fibromyalgia is still unknown, but research suggests that a combination of factors may contribute, including:

• Genetics – A family history of fibromyalgia may increase risk.
• Infections – Some illnesses may trigger or worsen symptoms.
• Physical or Emotional Trauma – Car accidents, injuries, or high stress may play a role.
• Nervous System Dysfunction – Misalignments in the spine may disrupt how the brain processes pain.

How Chiropractic Care Can Help Fibromyalgia

At Nigus Chiropractic & Acupuncture, we focus on correcting spinal misalignments (subluxations) that may be contributing to fibromyalgia symptoms. Misalignments can interfere with the nervous system, leading to increased pain sensitivity, poor sleep, and fatigue—all common fibromyalgia complaints.

Chiropractic adjustments aim to:

• Reduce pain and inflammation by improving nervous system function
• Restore mobility and flexibility in the spine and joints
• Improve sleep quality by reducing pain and tension
• Enhance overall well-being by promoting natural healing processes

Several studies have linked chiropractic care to pain reduction, improved sleep, and increased range of motion in fibromyalgia patients—making it a safe, drug-free option for managing symptoms.

Acupuncture for Fibromyalgia Relief

Acupuncture has long been used to treat chronic pain conditions, and fibromyalgia is no exception. By stimulating specific points in the body, acupuncture can help:

• Reduce pain sensitivity
• Calm the nervous system
• Improve sleep and relaxation

At Nigus Chiropractic & Acupuncture, we use a needle-less acupuncture technique, offering a gentle, non-invasive option for those uncomfortable with traditional needles.
